Men are Simple Creatures (ft. Mary Kay True Original Hair and Body Wash*)

Men are simple creatures. Keep them well fed. Keep them loved. Give them a sports game. Boom. Happy. 

You know what also makes men (and people in general) happy? Warm showers. But if your man is anything like David, he's got places to be and things to do so increasing task efficiency is always welcomed. When I received the Mary Kay True Original Hair and Body Wash* ($20CDN, 192ml), I felt like I had solved all of David's first world washing problems.

Food or Flowers? (ft L'Occitane x Pierre Herme Jasmin-Immortelle-Neroli and Grapefruit-Rhubarbe Collection)*

The CBB recently worked on a campaign with a perfume brand where individuals got to choose scents in the line and I was overwhelmed with the number of individuals who chose food related scents. Well, the latest collaboration from L'Occitane with Pierre Hermé (of macaron and pastry making fame), gives you an option for both food and florals. Which would you choose?

The Thing...in the Bathroom*

The Thing, in the bathroom, has found you.

It waits and comes out when you are gone. It waits and comes out, out of the pipes, out of the bathtub, into your home.

The Thing, in the bathroom, is learning about you.

The Jury on Aromatherapy

Have I already mentioned that I've been a little bit more stressed than usual lately? Sometimes I dislike stating that I'm 'stressed' because that word comes so easily and I fear misuse or overuse of it. Regardless, lately I've been a little more tense than usual with the moving and the purging and the job hunting etc that I've attempting different methods of relaxation. Add that onto the need to purge some of my bath products and that has meant a bit more baths than normal in the ABZ household.

Body Shop Purchases

Although I recieved a nice package from The Body Shop, I couldn't help myself and made a couple of purchase from their holiday line. The majority of them are at my mom's but I did bring the Glazed Apple Butter*, Frosted Cranberry Bath Jelly and Glazed Apple Shower Gel to enjoy at David's

Review: The Body Shop Satsuma Body Gel

(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

The Body Shop shower gels are really affordable at $8 for 250ml. There are loads of scents you can choose  from so it's a good way to make your showers more interesting and enjoyable.
